Hey All,
My wife's grandfather bought this Stetson, and I am lucky to have inherited it, however, its a 7 1/8 and I need a 7 1/4, so I'm trying to figure out what model it is. I've got a few pictures of it on flickr and have measured it's various dimensions, measurements are a bit iffy since...
Thanks R.L., I'm pretty happy with it. (I actually love it) As someone who's new to fedoras I am definitely feeling that it's far too 'dressy' for an average day. If I'm not in a suit and tie it feels just odd to me still, perhaps that will pass with time. It is a good excuse to get dressed up...
Finally, at the ripe old age of 36, I watched "Casablanca" for the first time in my life.
It was great! Awesome picture quality on the blu-ray rental too. Bogart's hat is simply amazing.. it seems beat to h**l yet somehow very stylish.
But as a kid and even early adult ive ignorded...
Well Here it is. First Fedora.
Here is my Stetson Whippet. photos not the greatest, had to take them myself. some in a mirror. weird camera setup.
The hat: I Love it. It really needs nice clothes to look right though. I feel odd wearing it with 'bum around the house' clothing, but i put on...
Am now watching "Julie and Julia" which I borrowed from my mother. Its actually quite entertaining. Also Stanley Tucci has a really nice Fedora in this movie. (He plays Julia Child's husband and i think they are in the 50's)
I just purchased a hat that i Hope will be really nice from Bencraft. I am wondering though, that one is fur felt, I get a lot of rain around here... Would something like this Gangster be a good rainy day hat?
I have heard the wool felt is supposed to shrink in the rain, but.. i could see...
So Art actually sends you by mail a device to measure your head? "Conformer" ?
Thats pretty awesome if so. I may just have to make my next hat one of these.
Can anyone discretely (PM) suggest to me how much money we are talking about for a custom job?
Welcome. I am new as well. Everyone (especially ladies, including my lovely wife) is so supportive and complimenting of my moving to Fedora-wearing, I think they must just really enhance the look of any guy, Even if you have to wear a company jacket. Maybe this is why until a few decades ago it...
I Know there$ a very good rea$on for thi$, but ever V$ hat i $ee $eems to look mile$ better than the re$t of the hat$ around, and fit$ the wearer perfectly. I think I know what my 'WI$H HAT" is... :D
(FYI No Offense intended but the '$' joke, I just couldn't help myself. I'm sure they are...
The colors on that hat are truly awesome. I'm gonna have to save the pic in case i get a custom done sometime.
Now whats this about your head shrinking?? :eek:
